In this paper we present an advanced functional extraction tool for automatic generation of high-level RTL from switch-level circuit netlist representation. The tool is called FEV-Extract and is part of a comprehensive Formal Equivalence Verification (FEV) system developed at Intel to verify modern microprocessor designs. FEV-Extract employs a powerful hierarchical analysis procedure, and advanced and generic algorithms for automatic recognition of logical primitives, to cope with variety of circuit design styles and their complexity. Logic equations are then extracted to generate a behavioral RTL model described in industrial standard HDL languages, to be used in the formal equivalence verification, logic simulation, synthesis and testability flows.

The Sapphires (2013)
Blend Film Database
The Sapphires Synopsis
Inspired by a true story,
The Sapphires
follows four vivacious, young and talented Australian Aboriginal girls from a remote mission as they learn about love, friendship and war when their all girl group The Sapphires entertains the U.S. troops in Vietnam in 1968. Cynthia (Tapsell), Gail (Mailman), Julie (Mauboy) and Kay (Sebbens) are discovered by Dave (O'Dowd), a good-humored talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music. As their manager, Dave books the sisters their first true gig giving them their first taste of stardom, and travels them to Vietnam to sing for the American troops.

The Sapphires Trailer Brings The Soul And Chris O'Dowd
The film takes place in 1968, and stars Chris O'Dowd (Girls, IT Crowd) as a kind-hearted talent scout who take four Aboriginal sisters from their remote homeland in Australia and takes them on a soul-singing tour of Vietnam, performing for U.S. troops. Though the story will probably tread emotional waters, it still sounds like one of the less-schmaltzy feel-good films in recent memory, and the trailer below conveys that assessment perfectly

They will just issue some more debt , you idiot...it's the euro way.....Their moto is, "if you can't keep up with the Americans, just subsidize it",
If debt is issued via a secondary issue, it's dilutive, especially since it wouldn't be bought at this level.Also, stocks go up when they buy back their shares, not when they issue more shares. That's a major difference between AZO (buying shares back) and CRM, for example.

Fix the robots.
This is the best robot fighting game on the App Store. But you guys NEED to fix the robots. Zeus is the best robot in the movie but not in the game. All of the robots should be way shorter than Zeus. No robot that has 2 armor should be able to own Zeus. You have to make the best robot in the movie the best robot in the game. You should change around the robot sizes. I would love this game even more if that was added.
This is unbelievable. Fun at first, but in he end a rip-off!
REALLY?!? First, you have to PAY for the better Robots, AND ONCE YOU GET TO TIER 3 HARD-HITTERS, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BUY THE BETTER ONES! This is unbelievable! Remove having to pay for better bots like No Joke with real mines, and change it to GAME MONY! Then, make it possible to hit Tier 3 medium with the even good robots like MIDA!!! Come On! 😡
Please make it to where you don't have to pay for robots. I want cool robots like Zeus or the new on major steel I think that's his name. I don't want to have to spend money for those robots because it comes with kinda weak ones

I have only been singing seriously for just over 5 years. I love singing, and sing live Karaoke most every weekend. Nothing like hearing real applause after singing a song for a live audience. I have also recently taken up playing the drums again. I used to play them in Middle school and High school ( A few years ago..LOL), and played in marching bands for parades.
Playing a full drum set is nothing like playing a single drum in a marching band, so I am learning all over again. I sing and play the drums, not for the glory, but for my soul, and for the soul of those who choose to listen, although many on here do not seem appreciate musicians who use this site to improve their musical skills. No matter, because I play to improve my drumming skills, and although I enjoy singing very much as well, it makes it so much easier to learn to play a song on the drums without the vocals to distract from the musical track, as drum sheet music is so very hard to find, and 90% of drummers play by ear anyway.
Most people on here don't appreciate musicians, especially drummers, because in most peoples eyes, they are only just beat keepers. But playing drums takes concentration and dexterity, and the ability to do four different things with your arms and feet that are not really in sync with each other....... AT THE SAME TIME !!!!
Please be careful with those you may meet on here. There are many who seem to be your friends, but there are no true friends that you may really think you know, but at some point they will turn on you, no matter how much you have done for them in the past.
The person you took for granted today, may turn out to be the person you need tomorrow. Be careful how you treat others. You never know when you may need them.
Some people aren't loyal to you. they are loyal to their need of you. Once their needs change, so does their loyalty !!!
Music penetrates social, economic, and Racial barriers. It is a universal language, even if you don't know the actual "Language" of a song.
I love singing and playing the drums, and one day I may be good at both if I keep practicing on here.
CLick here for a link to a singing video I did about Cell Phones on you tube in the style of Kodachrome by Paul Simon. It fits the times, and is called "MY 10G SMART PHONE"

This BB cream is very good! Normally, I don't use make-up, just sunscreen. The first day I used this cream, my fiancé was like, "Your skin looks really nice". He could see the difference, but couldn't tell I had applied anything on my face (which is perfect, just the way I like it!) This BB cream leaves my skin very soft, hydrated, gives a "glow", evens out my skin tone, supposed to help with spots, and it has SPF! Nowadays, I only use this; super simple. One thing I learn is not to over-apply, otherwise it seems to make my skin look a bit oily (I have combination skin). Otherwise, love the product.
I purchased this product to be used as a sheer tint, with an added bonus of sun protection and anti-aging benefits. I used it one day and noticed how orange I looked. It looked like I got a bad fake tan. I have fair hair, eyes, and skin and usually choose the lightest shade of foundation or powder available, no matter the brand or formulation. It seems this is only available in light/medium? How in the world is that going to cover the darkest and the lightest skin tones? Well, it doesn't, even though it does say something about "skin-matching" something on the tube. It also had a strong smell, as others have commented here. It was really flowery and it made me feel like a grandma. I'm only 32--don't assume that women, young or old, want that smelly stuff on their face. The actual texture of the makeup was creamy and felt good on my face. If L'Oreal reads the comments on their site and makes other shade options available and removes the obnoxious fragrance from this product, I WOULD try it again.
I want to state that this is the best thing I have put on my face for a very long time. I first saw it when my daughter was in the hospital. She got up and put something on her face and she had an instant glow and her face looked wonderful. I had to find out what this was so she showed me. I went right out and got some and use it everyday. I am 66 so takes a lot to make a woman my age get a wonderful glow to her face. I have been using it for 4 months now and will always have this on hand. Great product.
I got this L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect BB Cream for Mature Skin and it is for sure, an all-in-one cream that makes your skin so pretty! Its light weight and looks great under my powder makeup. I love that it fights the signs of aging while giving you a slight coverage. It doesnt feel too heavy at all and after a few weeks I have totally seen a difference in my skin.
I really like the feel of this cream, but the perfume smell is just too strong for me. I passed it on to my mother and she says it smells just fine to her. So maybe I'm extra sensitive to the smell, or she just enjoys it more. It does leave your skin feeling very smooth and soft though.
This is the first BB cream that I've used and I love all of the benefits. It not only makes my skin look flawless, but also has great anti-aging benefits to correct existing problems as well as SPF 20 to prevent future problems.
This cream really packs a punch - it's a moisturizer, sunblock, anti-aging cream, spot reducer, and it has a sheer tint that seems to even out your skin tone. Its great for people who are looking for something that does it all at one go. It's got a nice light texture and is non-greasy. I still prefer using a couple different types of creams in my skincare regiment because I think individually they're more effective, but i think I'll take this one when I travel!
This cream is non Greasy and very light weight. Cream is SPF-20 so it provides mild sun protection also. Great quality compared to the price.
Makes your face look and feel amazing!
I have about 6 diferent tinted moisterizers and BB creams they are all greasy on me. I got a sample of this in a magazine so I tried it. When I first put it on I put it over Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Moisture (which is AWSOME) I had a stinging sensation that bothered me. So I tried again the next day without the Neutrogena and it is perfect. It makes my face glow and look alive. It says it rednifies and it does on me, it makes my face warm and tingley. I love it! Just enough coverage.
Can't believe you discontinued this cream. I haven't found one that I like better. I loved the light feel & the illumination it delivered. Made my skin glow. Very disappointed!!!! I love this cream. Light coverage & very flattering on the skin. Please bring it back!!!!!!!!!!
I was so excited to try this. So purchased two, one now shade, one summer shade. Really disappointed. I'm Caucasian and have very balanced skin. Not oily, not dry. Initially I liked the slight color enhance and that it somewhat hid some flaws and sun spots without heavy makeup. However after an hour and for the next several hours, my skin was shiny and oily. Very much so, to the point that I looked like I was sweating in sunlight! Then about 3-4 hours later. Something else Happened. My wrinkles on my forehead which I rarely see with regular day cream and or foundation, were Pronounced!!! BIG TIME! The winkles appearance with this product a few hours in remind me of aging make up they use in film to make someone look Older. Yes I looked Older! As soon as I wiped it off with a cleansing face cloth. Gone, were my pronounced forehead wrinkles! Not wanting to believe I could have the reverse effect of the product claims.. I then gave it 2 more tries, two more days. Same exact result. Only now I also have little pimples in areas I've never had them before. I hope the store I bought these at will give me a full refund. 3 times your out! Will not use again..
This product is great. Really gives a look of radiance to your skin. People notice!
Sheer to light coverage with a very faint luminous glow. I'm 60 and this is the exact look I've been seeking. My bare skin has very few blotchy areas and minimal fine lines and this product brightens all areas flawlessly with a completely natural appearance. I wouldn't say its in the category of a dewy moist look but certainly like I eat nothing but fruits, nuts and vegetables with a lifetime of limited sun (none are true). As opposed to other BB creams I've tried this doesn't creep into my crows feet or get cakey spots plus its a wonderful hydrating moisturizer.
I pair it with the Physicians Formula color correcting powder on the areas where I've had pre cancer spots removed and will always be ruddy. A bit of mascara and tinted lip gloss completes my natural look.
This cream is light weight & made my dull mature skin look nourished. The tint blended in without collecting in creases making my skin appear younger & healthier!
I love this bb cream! It moisturizers and adds a tint of color and glow to my face. I do not like heavy face make up so this is perfect! I hope Loreal never stops making this product!
This is an AMAZING product! Affordable and surpassed my expectations. My sister phoned me after purchasing the cream and was very excited and recommended it. She was not exaggerating! We are both always searching for the "perfect" foundation and we found it. Through trial and error, I had to rub it in for the color to activate. The Medium is too light for me so I also bought Deep. I spread the Medium all over my face and then apply the Deep to upper cheeks, center of nose, center of forehead, and middle of the chin. The results are superior. My skin HAS improved.... that is not hype. Since I purchased this product, I have not used my other primers or foundations that are in the $55 range. Wow, I love my Age Perfect BB Cream!
First of all, I expected this BB Cream to have a tint, as the tube says "Light/Medium." It has NO color at all, it is clear. I applied it after my Age Perfect Serum and Eye Cream. It was very sticky. Since the BB Cream had NO color, I had to apply my foundation over it. My foundation did not smooth onto my face; there was a real "tug" from the BB Cream. After I was done, my face looked awful. My foundation looked cakey and very dark. Without this BB Cream, my foundation always goes on very smoothly and is the perfect color and not cakey. After a few hours, I had to wash my face to remove the BB Cream - it looked that bad.
This was my favorite product and I have used a lot of your products over the years. It had it all. My mature skin never looked better. So sorry to see you discontinue this great product.
Goes on face smooth and gives my face a radiant sun-kissed look. I absolutely love this product.

Consider, the story about Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and the theft of its trade secrets last week. Bloomberg reported the following just this week on this breaking story:
Sergey Aleynikov, an ex-Goldman Sachs computer programmer, was arrested July 3 after arriving at Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey, U.S. officials said. Aleynikov, 39, who has dual American and Russian citizenship, is charged in a criminal complaint with stealing the trading software. At a court appearance July 4 in Manhattan, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Facciponti told a federal judge that Aleynikov's alleged theft poses a risk to U.S. markets. Aleynikov transferred the code, which is worth millions of dollars, to a computer server in Germany, and others may have had access to it, Facciponti said, adding that New York-based Goldman Sachs may be harmed if the software is disseminated.
"The bank has raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate markets in unfair ways," Facciponti said (emphasis mine), according to a recording of the hearing made public today. "The copy in Germany is still out there, and we at this time do not know who else has access to it."The prosecutor added, "Once it is out there, anybody will be able to use this, and their market share will be adversely affected." The proprietary code lets the firm do "sophisticated, high-speed and high-volume trades on various stock and commodities markets," prosecutors said in court papers. The trades generate "many millions of dollars" each year.
It's curious to note that Goldman Sachs has admitted that it has developed trading software that could be used to, in their own words, "manipulate markets in unfair ways", yet nobody in the mainstream media has questioned whether Goldman Sachs was / and is using its proprietary trading platform to manipulate markets in unfair ways. Only extremely naive investors with zero understanding of how global stock markets operate would deny that there has been continual and excessive intervention into US stock markets to prop them up over the past several months.
The announced breach of Goldman Sach's trade secrets coincided with an inexplicable omission of Goldman Sachs from the NYSE's weekly report of the most active trading programs for the week ending June 26, 2009, though on Monday, July 6, 2009, a NYSE spokesman explained to Reuters that "the exchange was to blame for Goldman missing from the list, adding the bank reported its data to the exchange correctly and on time." Even if this fishy explanation regarding the omission of Goldman Sachs's trading activity from this weekly report is true, Goldman Sachs in light of this recent development, has undoubtedly had to proceed much more cautiously with their trading activities given that there may be unknown persons out there privy to their every move right now.
What is highly curious, in my mind, is the fact that oil plunged 10.5% from a high of $71.60 to a low of $64.05 in just the last four trading days and the fact that US stock markets plummeted on July 2nd, before a major US holiday weekend, at a time when Goldman Sachs has most likely not been participating in markets at their regular activity level given these recent developments. Typically before a major US holiday, trading volume on US markets is very light. During the recent rally in US markets from early March to early June, unidentified institutions have taken advantage of very low trading volumes to prop up US markets whereas higher than normal trading volumes often resulted in an aberration of a heavy down day. I fully expected July 2nd, due to the low trading activity that normally accompanies a pre-holiday market, to be a day when US markets would be propped up, yet July 2nd was a very heavy down day in US markets.
Secondly, every trader rcognizes the importance of Goldman Sachs's activity in crude oil markets. In fact, if Goldman Sachs makes significant changes to the weightings of its GSCI (Goldman Sachs Commodity Index) components, virtually every commodity fund manager in America accordingly changes the weightings of his or her portfolio to mirror the changed weightings of the GSCI. I haven't researched how many times in recent history the price of oil has plunged 10.5% in four trading days, but I'm guessing not too often.
Could stock and select commodity markets actually have been driven more by the free market forces of supply and demand than by market manipulation and by free-market intervention schemes for several days while "the invisible hand" of Goldman Sachs has been temporarily tied behind its back? Just a thought.

What are medical conditions associated with early or late puberty?
Precocious puberty
Precocious puberty is the medical term for puberty that occurs earlier than usual. While medical professionals are not in full agreement about the age ranges for the definition of precocious puberty, many doctors believe that a medical evaluation for precocious puberty should be performed if breast or pubic hair development occurs prior to age 7 in Caucasian girls and prior to age 6 in African-American girls. Boys who show signs of developing secondary sex characteristics prior to age 9 are also considered to have precocious puberty. Precocious puberty can be associated with psychological difficulties that may impact a child's emotional development.
Precocious puberty is much more common in girls than in boys. Many girls experience precocious puberty in the absence of any disease or condition. In boys, however, precocious puberty is more likely to be associated with an underlying medical problem. While in many cases the exact cause of precocious puberty cannot be determined, a small number of cases are related to abnormalities of the ovaries or testes, thyroid gland abnormalities or other hormone problems, genetic conditions, tumors or infections of the brain, and injury to the brain.
Precocious puberty may be treated by treating the underlying condition that is responsible for the condition, or by lowering the high levels of sex hormones with medications (known as GnRH agonists) that block the production of sex hormones to stop sexual development from progressing.
Delayed puberty
Delayed puberty is the late onset of puberty. Puberty is usually considered to be delayed when there has been no increase in testicular volume by 14 years of age in boys and no breast development by 13 and a half years of age in girls. Sometimes, delayed puberty tends to "run in families," and normal adolescent development proceeds normally after the delay. This is sometimes called a constitutional delay and is responsible for the vast majority of cases of delayed puberty. Constitutional delay that affects both growth and achievement of puberty is much more common in boys than in girls.
Chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes or cystic fibrosis, may also cause the delayed onset of puberty. Genetic conditions, problems with the pituitary or thyroid glands, problems with the ovaries or testes, and malnutrition are other causes of delayed puberty. Many girls who exercise strenuously have very little body fat and also experience a delay in the onset of puberty, since a certain amount of body fat appears to be required for the initiation of puberty. Girls who are competitive athletes may have a delay in the onset of menstruation of up to one year or more when compared with nonathletes.

I'm curious what people would think about FDS purchasing EDGR? The XBRL patent might be a great money maker in the future. Could be a nice hook into getting new cliets and offer larger clients free electronic Edgar filing via EDGR. The Current EDGR valuation might be a good time to take over the company?
I doubt they would be interested. They already take the Edgar feed and have plenty of experience pulling data out of it without XBRL. XBRL will only make their job easier. EDGR doesn't seem to mesh well with their customer base either.

We employ the numerically exact superposition T-matrix method to perform extensive computations of electromagnetic scattering by small volume elements filled with 8 randomly distributed wavelength-sized spherical particles. The results of these computations are used to examine quantitatively the conditions of applicability of the single-scattering approximation (SSA). We show that one may need large inter-particle distances and low packing densities in order to make the SSA sufficiently accurate.
© 2007 Optical Society of America
1. Introduction
The far-field single-scattering approximation (SSA) is widely used in analyses and interpretation of laboratory measurements of light scattering by tenuous collections of natural and artificial small particles (e.g., [1–10] and references therein). A detailed derivation of the SSA from the exact Foldy–Lax equations has been given in [11, 12]. These publications also provide a qualitative theoretical analysis of the range of applicability of the SSA and a limited numerical illustration based on exact T-matrix results for randomly oriented two-sphere clusters with touching and separated components.
The main objective of this paper is to take advantage of the increased power of scientific workstations in order to extend and render more concrete and quantitative the previous analysis of the range of applicability of the SSA. Specifically, we apply the superposition T-matrix method (STMM) [13–15] to a small volume element filled with eight randomly distributed wavelength-sized particles. By keeping the size of the particles fixed and increasing the average interparticle separation, we illustrate the gradual disappearance of various multiple-scattering effects and the onset of the single-scattering regime. These results provide a direct quantitative estimate of what inter-particle separation is necessary in order to make the SSA accurate to within a prescribed numerical margin.
In order to avoid redundancy and save space, we take advantage of the on-line availability of [14] and use exactly the same terminology and notation.
2. Numerical results
As shown in Fig. 1, we assume that eight identical spherical particles are distributed randomly throughout a spherical volume with a radius R much greater than the particle radius r. The size parameter of the particles is fixed at k 1 r = 4, where k 1 is the wave number in the surrounding medium; whereas, the size parameter of the spherical volume is varied from k 1 R = 12 to k 1 R = 72 in steps of 6. This procedure yields particle volume concentrations ρ ranging from 29.6% down to 0.14%. The relative refractive index of the particles is fixed at 1.32.
The arrangement of the eight particles inside the k 1 R = 12 volume is random but such that each particle is in contact with at least one other particle. The other ten particulate volumes with k 1 R = 18, 24, …, 72 are obtained by uniformly scaling all particle coordinates of the k 1 R = 12 volume while keeping the size of the particles fixed. This procedure is illustrated in Fig. 1, which shows the original k 1 R = 12 volume element and the derivative k 1 R = 24 volume element.
Fig. 1.
Fig. 2.
To simulate light scattering by a statistically random volume element, one needs an efficient way of averaging the computed scattering properties over very many different configurations of a multi-particle group. The approach adopted for this study is to use only one randomly configured 8-particle group and average over all possible orientations of this configuration with respect to the laboratory coordinate system [16]. This procedure yields in effect an infinite continuous set of random realizations of the 8-particle group and enables one to take full advantage of the highly efficient semi-analytical orientation averaging technique afforded by the STMM [14, 15].
We assume that the statistically random volume element is illuminated by a plane electromagnetic wave or a parallel quasi-monochromatic beam of light propagating in the direction nô inc (Fig. 2). The observation direction is specified by the unit vector nô sca. Since all scattering properties are averaged over the uniform orientation distribution of a multi-particle group, we can simplify the discussion by assuming that the incidence direction coincides with the positive direction of the z-axis of the laboratory reference frame and that φ sca = 0. Then the scattering direction can be uniquely characterized by the scattering angle Θ = θ sca and the transformation of the Stokes parameters of the incident light into those of the light scattered in the observation direction can be written in terms of the so-called normalized Stokes scattering matrix [14]:
The specific block-diagonal structure of the scattering matrix is confirmed by the T-matrix results: all scattering matrix elements denoted in Eq. (1) by a zero have been found to be at least an order of magnitude smaller than the smallest non-zero element (in the absolute-value sense). The (1,1) element, called the phase function, is normalized according to
The results of our extensive T-matrix computations are summarized in Figs. 3–5. Figure 3 depicts the dimensionless extinction cross section ratio defined as
Fig. 3.
and the forward-scattering phase function ratio defined as
This figure also quantifies the particle volume concentration (or packing density) ρ and the quantity k 1 〈d〉 as functions of k 1 R, where 〈d〉 is the average distance between the sphere centers. Figure 4 shows the phase function and the ratios of the non-zero Stokes scattering matrix elements to the phase function for the various volume elements as well as for a single sphere. Figure 5 details the phase functions at forward and near-forward scattering directions as well as depicts the quantity
The latter describes the angular distribution of the cross-polarized scattered intensity provided that the incident light is fully linearly polarized in the xz plane.
3. Discussion
The gist of the SSA is that one can neglect the response of each particle in a volume element to the fields scattered by all the other particles and assume that each particle is excited only by the external incident field. For the SSA to be applicable, the volume element must be optically thin and the inter-particle separation must be sufficiently large. The threshold optical thickness value for widely separated particles can be determined using an approximate approach based on the radiative transfer theory [12]. However, exact computations of electromagnetic scattering such as those presented in Figs. 3–5 are needed to determine the requisite minimal inter-particle distance.
According to the simple SSA [11, 12], the extinction cross section ratio defined by Eq. (3) must be equal to one. Furthermore, according to the modified uncorrelated SSA (MUSSA), the elements of the normalized Stokes scattering matrix for a volume element must be equal to those for a single sphere. Figures 3 and 4 demonstrate the departure from these requisite values for different packing densities. They show that the particle packing density should be smaller than 1% and k 1〈d〉 should be greater than 30 for the SSA for there to be negligible differences when using the SSA.
Fig. 4.
While quite large separations are needed for the accuracy of the SSA to be within a few percent, the applicability of the SSA ultimately depends on the applications and required tolerances. For many particle characterization applications such tolerances are requisite, but for other applications, the tolerances may be more relaxed. For example, the ratios -b 1/a 1 and b 2/a 1 tend to retain the basic features of the single spherical particle to rather large packing densities. For these ratios, the frequency of angular oscillations remains predominantly the same, but the amplitude of oscillations decreases with increasing packing density until the largest density is reached, in which case the scattering properties no longer retain the obvious single-particle features. The retention of the single-particle frequencies for relatively large densities may potentially be used to size the individual particles in this cluster from these Stokes-matrix element ratios. In this application the tolerance of the SSA appears relatively relaxed.
Fig. 5.
An important effect caused by multiple scattering is coherent backscattering (or weak localization of electromagnetic waves) [16, 17]. This effect can be exhibited especially clearly by the quantity defined by Eq. (5) since the cross-polarized scattered intensity is identically equal to zero for a single spherical particle. The right-hand panel of Fig. 5 shows that the backscattering peak has the largest amplitude and width for k 1 R = 12. With increasing inter-particle separation, the amplitude and the width of the peak decrease, thereby corroborating the multiple-scattering origin and the interference nature of coherent backscattering. Obviously, it takes very low particle packing densities to fully extinguish this effect.
A fundamental single-scattering phenomenon exhibited by multi-particle groups is the forward-scattering interference illustrated by the left-hand panel of Fig. 5 and discussed in detail in [11, 12, 16]. For widely separated particles, the ratio defined by Eq. (4) must be equal to one. However, Fig. 3 shows that this ratio approaches the asymptotic value of one with increasing k 1 R even slower than the extinction cross section ratio. The angular width of the forward-scattering interference peak is inversely proportional to k 1〈d〉. Figure 5 obviously indicates that k 1〈d〉 must be much greater than 60 in order to ensure that the interference peak is narrow enough and does not affect the interpretation of laboratory measurements in terms of the MUSSA.
4. Conclusion
Our numerically exact T-matrix results demonstrate that one may need large inter-particle distances and low packing densities in order to make the SSA sufficiently accurate for groups of wavelength-sized particles. This implies that one should exercise caution when interpreting laboratory data such as those presented in [1–10].
Obviously, more work still needs to be done in order to extend our analysis to groups consisting of larger and possibly polydisperse particles. The rapidly increasing efficiency of scientific workstations should make this extension feasible in the very near future.

Five Tips to Save Money on Your Laundry
My husband and I don't usually embrace ultra-frugality for the sake of saving a buck or two. But we will change our habits if the changes are easy or we can save a significant amount of money over time. When we realized we were doing more than 5 loads of laundry a week for two people, we decided to try out a few things (homemade laundry detergent did not make the cut). Some suggestions worked very well but others were complete flops. Here are a few tips we have come up with to save some money and time on laundry.

Protests and death in Middle East spark debate over religious tolerance, free speech
Nasser Nasser, Associated Press
Government officials aren't certain an anti-Islamic film that sparked protests in Egypt and Libya is the motive behind an attack in Libya that left the U.S. ambassador and three other diplomats dead.
But an amateur YouTube video made in the United States that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad and sparked protests in Egypt and Libya the day of the attacks has fueled an ongoing debate over the conflicting Western values of free speech and religious tolerance.
U.S. officials were still investigating late Wednesday whether the attack in Libya was a terrorist strike planned to mark the 11th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Initial reports were that both the Libya and Egypt events had been motivated by anger over the movie "Innocence of Muslims."
Former GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told CNN that the United States should seize on the violence spurred by the film "to teach the Muslim world about freedom," specifically about freedom of speech.
"His remarks, echoed by other conservatives on Wednesday, signaled something of a divide in reaction to developments in Libya and Egypt between the political right, which stressed freedom of speech, and the left, which added condemnation of those behind the anti-Muslim film," CNN religion editor Dan Gilgoff reported.
"Gingrich criticized statements from the U.S. government that he said went too far in condemning and apologizing for the anti-Muslim film."
A statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo said it "condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims."
"Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."
Early Wednesday, both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the killings but also said religious beliefs should be respected.
"Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation," Clinton said. "But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind."
The two-hour movie that sparked the protests came to the public's attention in Egypt after its trailer, which many have reportedly found offensive, was dubbed into Arabic and posted on YouTube.
A man identifying himself as Sam Bacile, a 56-year-old California real estate developer, said he wrote, produced and directed the movie.
National Public Radio tried to sort out the fact and fiction behind the filmmaker and the film's promoters.
"The bottom line is that we know very little about 'Sam Bacile,' the man who says he produced the film and who says Sam Bacile is his name," NPR reported.
Regardless of who made the film or whether it was the motive behind the attack in Libya, the video apparently ignited strong reaction by devout Muslims in Egypt and Libya. Other media depictions of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, favorable or insulting, have in the past resulted in violent protests by Muslims in the Middle East.
"Violence over depictions of the Prophet Muhammad may mystify many non-Muslims, but it speaks to a central tenet of Islam: that the prophet was a man, not God, and that portraying him threatens to lead to worshiping a human instead of Allah," CNN said.
The report quoted Akbar Ahmed, who chairs the Islamic studies department at American University, that the strong reaction is rooted in Islam's prohibition against idol worship.
"The prophet himself was aware that if people saw his face portrayed by people, they would soon start worshiping him," Ahmed says. "So he himself spoke against such images, saying 'I'm just a man.' "

Copley trustees OK contract to demolish nuisance buildings
Copley Township is moving forward with the state's Moving Ohio Forward program to demolish abandoned or blighted properties.
Township trustees at the April 17 meeting approved a $57,550 contract with Bennett Construction for asbestos removal and demolition of seven structures in the township. The properties include 3001 Copley Road, 2885 Copley Road, 2973 Copley Road, 2682 Kibler Road, 2688 Kibler Road, 2698 Kibler Road and 2706 Kibler Road. The cost of the demolition will be offset by a Moving Ohio Forward grant. Costs also will be assessed to the property owners. The project tentatively is scheduled to begin May 20, according to the contract.
Trustees also approved a $7,250 purchase order to repair Ansley Court in the West Ridge Estates Allotment. Service Director Mark Mitchell said the repair was the result of a sinkhole on the street.
After receiving input from the Summit County Engineer's Office, trustees are ruling out sidewalks on Misty Lane. A group of Misty Lane residents earlier submitted a petition requesting sidewalks. Trustees said, after study, the project, which would be funded through assessments to residents on the street, would not go forward. Trustees said not all residents of Misty Lane wanted sidewalks. Further, they said the sidewalks, which would have to be constructed outside the road right-of-way, would to be too costly.
In other business:
- Trustees continue to approve requests for equipment to outfit the Southwest Summit Communications Center in Norton. As fiscal agent for the project, Copley Township is responsible for issuing payment for the center's expenses. The costs are offset by a $300,000 loan and are shared equally among the three entities — Copley, Barberton and Norton. Trustees approved equipment purchases of more than $270,000 at the meeting. The joint dispatch center is expected to open after July 1, said Copley Fire Chief Michael Benson.
- Benson was given permission to accept a $108,061 federal Assistance to Firefighters grant to be used for purchase of three heart monitor/defibrillator units costing $113,748. The local match, appropriated earlier, is $5,687. Benson said the new units would be placed in the township's ambulances and the outdated units would be moved to the township's fire trucks.
- Trustees also approved accepting nine pet oxygen masks. Two mask kits were donated to the Fire Department by the Barberton High School Four-City Compact nursing students and Invisible Fence's Project Breathe. The remaining seven mask kits were donated to the Police Department by Project Breathe.
In other action, trustees:
√ amended the township sanitary district resolution to require all licensed trash haulers to provide recycling service for single-family and multi-family units in the township;
√ approved the donation of two fully stocked active shooter response bags and supplies to stock 10 first aid kits from Brian Abbot, of Abbot Custom Woodworking and Remodel LLC;
√ approved fire and police training;
√ extended by four months the leave of absence for part-time firefighter Konrad Becker; and
√ approved the expenditure of $10,160 in previously received grant monies for fire officer and instructor training at The University of Akron.
The board's next regular meeting will take place May 1 at 6 p.m. at the Copley Township offices, 1540 S. Cleveland-Massillon Road.

An Active Load and Test Method for Evaluating the Efficiency of Audio Power Amplifiers
This paper presents the design, implementation and use of an "active load" for audio power amplifier efficiency testing. The active load can simulate linear complex loads representative of real-world amplifier operation with a load modulus between 4 and 50 ohms inclusive, load phase-angles between −60° and +60° inclusive, and operates from 20 to 20,000 Hz. The active load allows for the development of an automated test procedure for evaluating the efficiency of an audio power amplifier across a range of output voltage amplitudes, load configurations and output signal frequencies. The results of testing a class-B and a class-D amplifier, each rated at 100 watts into 8 ohms are presented.

I'm just getting started with PHPUnit and Selenium, yet one problem has been bothering me: I can't seem to get correct coverage figures.
My app takes a user through a multi-step process that involves multiple pages, each of which is handled in PHP by a display function (to output HTML) and a processing function (to handle the results of POST operations). My baseline test runs through the entire process, and completes correctly having visited each of about seven pages. I've both verified this visually and through assertions in the testcase itself.
This issue is that the coverage report indicates that only the first couple of functions are executed and that the others are never visited (despite my visual and testcase checks). I thought the problem was a PHP Notice that occurred during the first function and that might stop XDebug/PHPUnit from collecting stats, but I fixed this and the problem remains.
Is there anything that can stop collection of coverage statistics mid-way through a test? All the functions in question are in the same file and are called from a (different) central PHP script which chooses which function to call based on an incrementing session variable.
